The main claim of this paper is about the presence of a particular philosophy of history in Hobsbawm’s works, founded on the notion of «revolution». In the first two parts of the essay I present Hobsbawm’s studies on (1) the 19th Century’s «double revolution» and (2) the Bolshevik Revolution. On the basis of the Hobsbawm’s concept of revolution in the third part of the paper I try to sketch out a general philosophical conception of history and of historical changing, also introducing the philosophical concept of «counterfactual».

Abstract
The main claim of this paper is about the presence of a particular philosophy of history in Hobsbawm’s works, founded on the notion of «revolution». In the first two parts of the essay I present Hobsbawm’s studies on (1) the 19th Century’s «double revolution» and (2) the Bolshevik Revolution. On the basis of the Hobsbawm’s concept of revolution in the third part of the paper I try to sketch out a general philosophical conception of history and of historical changing, also introducing the philosophical concept of «counterfactual».
